Question

Can Ellis be a little girls name? Any ideas for middle names?

Answer 1

I like it!  It sounds very rich.  For some reason the name Paige popped into my head for a middle name even though it's never really been one of my faves.

Answer 2

yeah my friends called ellis :)

Answer 3

Yes Ellis can be a girls name I think these are nice middle names mae, lee, ann, louise, sophee.

Answer 4

yeah its cute it sounds like Alice

Answer 5

It can; you can saddle any child, male or female, with a family surname. If you do, you are dooming her to a lifetime of being recorded as "Alice" by mistake, and of people who see just her name in a signature or directory assuming she is a man. Her classmates will call her "Island", after "Ellis Island."

The common place to throw a maiden name is the middle name; "John Morgan Smith" or "George Walker Bush".

Emily Ellis or Mary Ellis or Jennifer Ellis would all work, to my admittedly tone-deaf ear.

Life is sometimes like a hike where you have to carry a sack of rocks. Some people throw away as many as they can. When I was in college I bought 14 pairs of white socks, so I would never have to spend more than 8 seconds looking for a match. I wasn't particularly stylish. A fellow in my co-op had argyle socks. He was stylish, but he had to spend 5 - 10 minutes matching them every time he did laundry.

Giving a little girl the name "Ellis" as a first name is putting an extra rock in her sack, so to speak; one more minor hurdle, one more thing to slow her down.
